In 1978, eight-year-old David Chiem and his family left Vietnam and arrived in Australia. He didn’t speak a word of English when he started school, but he picked it up quickly and topped his class that same year.
At 14, Chiem starred in the Australian TV series Butterfly Island, becoming the first Asian-Australian to land a lead role on mainstream television. He became interested in acting and film-making and decided to study them — little knowing this would one day lead him to create an education empire.
While learning film-making, Chiem realized something important: teachers often told students what to learn, but never how to learn. He wondered why so many kids struggled in school. He thought it might be because lessons didn’t truly interest them. He asked himself, “Instead of memorizing facts, why not teach children how to learn and help them become lifelong learners who love learning?”
In 1998, Chiem started a research center in Sydney. He brought together experts in education, psychology, and brain science to develop the “3-Mind” learning model: the Champion Mind (never giving up), the Learning Mind (knowing how to learn), and the Creative Mind (coming up with new ideas). This approach helps children face challenges with curiosity and confidence.
The first MindChamps preschool opened in Singapore in 2008 and was so popular that parents waited three months for a spot. Today, MindChamps has 39 preschools in Singapore and 81 across Australia, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Perhaps the greatest sign of success: over 70% of its franchisees (特许经营人) are parents of children who attend MindChamps schools. That’s real belief in a better way to learn.
4. What can we learn about David Chiem from the first two paragraphs?
A. He had difficulty in learning English. B. He became a TV star quite by chance.
C. His acting career inspired later business. D. He made the move for better education.
5. What did Chiem see as the main problem with traditional education?
A. Children struggled in school. B. It stressed memorizing facts.
C. Lessons were not challenging. D. It didn’t teach learning methods.
6. Which of the following best describe Chiem’s “3-Mind” model?
A. Impractical. B. Demanding. C. Debatable. D. Innovative.
7. What does the high percentage of parents franchisees show?
A. Parents have faith in the model. B. The schools are expanding quickly.
C. Parents excel at making money. D. The model is favored by children.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了大卫·奇姆的经历。

The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If the world’s major governments don’t enact measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in the journal Earth System Dynamics.
The study, led by scientists in the United Kingdom and Netherlands, claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius(2℃)and kicking off a dangerous medley of global disasters.
The 2 degrees Celsius mark is critical for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2 degrees Celsius scientists predict a range of catastrophic effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to searing heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. But even this will require marked progress. Scientists have calculated that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least two percent each year in order to slow the march toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a paltry total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to outpace the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per annum, the climate change deadline could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Likewise, developing technology to remove carbon dioxide and other gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases alter Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to trap more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of responsibility to act for politicians and policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, a professor at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and one of the study authors, said in a statement. “Very little time is left.”
8. Why is the year 2035 critical to the Earth?
A It will be a record-breaking hot year. B. It’s a key point for our earth’s health.
C. It is when fossil fuels will run out. D. It’s a year of frequent natural disasters.
9. What annual minimum growth in renewables do we need to slow the progress?
A. 2%. B. 3.6%. C. 5%. D. 7%.
10. What does the underlined word “outpace” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Match. B. Keep up with. C. Do better than. D. Continue.
11. How did Henk Dijkstra feel about the current situation?
A. Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Satisfied.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出如果主要政府不采取措施,全球变暖将在2035年越过不可逆转的临界点,导致地球升温2℃并引发灾难;同时提到可再生能源增长和碳清除技术可延缓这一进程,科学家呼吁政策制定者立即行动。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study, led by scientists in the United Kingdom and Netherlands, claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius(2℃) and kicking off a dangerous medley of global disasters.(由英国和荷兰的科学家主导的这项研究称,2035年我们将跨过一个不可逆的临界点,在此之后,人类极不可能阻止地球气温上升2摄氏度,还会引发一系列全球性的危险灾难)”以及第三段第一句“The 2 degrees Celsius mark is critical for Earth’s well-being.(2摄氏度这个标志对地球的健康至关重要)”可知,2035年是地球健康的关键节点,一旦跨过这个临界点,会引发诸多气候灾难,气温上升幅度也无法控制。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Scientists have calculated that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least two percent each year in order to slow the march toward climate change.(科学家计算出,全球可再生能源的比例每年必须至少增长2%,才能减缓气候变化的进程)”可知,减缓气候变化所需的可再生能源年最低增长率为2%。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“If the use of renewable energy were to outpace the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per annum, the climate change deadline could move back by at least a decade(如果可再生能源的使用能够outpace科学家的模型,例如每年增长5%,那么气候变化的最后期限可以至少推迟十年)”可知,“outpace”在这里表示“超过、优于”,与“Do better than”意思相近。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Henk Dijkstra所说的“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of responsibility to act for politicians and policy makers(我们希望‘设定最后期限’可以激发政治家和政策制定者采取行动的责任感)”和“Very little time is left.(剩下的时间不多了)”可知,Henk Dijkstra认为应对气候变化的时间所剩无几,他对当前的形势感到担忧。故选B。
D
Understanding and reacting to our emotions is how we survive. They may alert us and grab our attention, as when we feel fear and should run away. They may also assure us — we feel joy when we’re safe and nourished after a meal. But, perhaps no other sense has played a larger role in obtaining emotional cues from our environment than sight.
Our ability to infer emotion from visual cues is primal. If we see someone who looks cross, we may feel fear; while encountering a person who looks happy may elicit a sense of calm or happiness. Although unproven, cognitive science suggests that visual art can evoke emotions in the viewer by exploiting emotional cues we’ve learned to read for thousand years.
Certainly, studies using functional brain imaging technology bear this out. The same regions of the brain that are involved in experiencing emotion are activated when shown a piece of pleasing artwork. The use of color and symbolism can be recognizable to the viewer and evoke an emotion, even in abstract works. This can happen even if the conscious mind isn’t aware of the reason for the sudden onset of emotion. Red, for example, can indicate anger. A series of lines in disarray, like those found in the work of painter Franz Kline, can evoke uncomfortable feelings of disorder.
The color red, and lines in disorder are all called cognitive antecedents. By including them in visual art, the artist may present an emotional state to be decoded and experienced by the viewer later on. The emotions elicited by a work of art aren’t necessarily intentional. They’re often individually and culturally specific. A Japanese viewer of the white turkeys depicted in Monet’s “Turkeys at Montgeron” may experience a sense of sadness or melancholy since white is associated with death in their culture.
Perhaps an understanding of exactly how to elicit a specific emotion in the viewer is best left unsolved. To some, the best works of art are open to interpretation.
12. How do we primarily pick up emotional cues from the environment?
A. With our eyes. B. With our tongues. C. With our ears. D. With our hands.
13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The origins of human emotions. B. The methods of evoking emotions.
C. The causes of people’s feelings. D. The underlying logic of visual art.
14. What does the author try to show by mentioning the Japanese viewer in paragraph 4?
A. The popularity of Monet’s works. B. The impact of color selection.
C. Color symbolism across cultures. D. Japanese people’s taste in art.
15. What does the author say about art appreciation?
A. It should follow strict rules. B. It allows for varied readings.
C. It depends on artist’s skills. D. It requires special guidance.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了视觉是人类获取情感信号的主要方式,视觉艺术可通过色彩、线条等唤起观者情绪,并受文化差异影响,同时指出优秀的艺术作品应允许不同解读。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But, perhaps no other sense has played a larger role in obtaining emotional cues from our environment than sight.(但是,在从周围环境中获取情感信号方面,也许没有其他感官比视觉发挥的作用更大了。)”可知,我们主要通过眼睛获取环境中的情感信号。故选A项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Our ability to infer emotion from visual cues is primal.(我们从视觉线索中推断情绪的能力是原始的。)”以及“Although unproven, cognitive science suggests that visual art can evoke emotions in the viewer by exploiting emotional cues we’ve learned to read for thousand years.(尽管未经证实,但认知科学表明,视觉艺术可以通过利用我们已经学会解读数千年的情绪线索来唤起观众的情绪。)”可知,本段主要阐述视觉艺术影响情感的内在逻辑,即通过视觉线索来推断和唤起情绪。故选D项。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The emotions elicited by a work of art aren’t necessarily intentional. They’re often individually and culturally specific. A Japanese viewer of the white turkeys depicted in Monet’s ‘Turkeys at Montgeron’ may experience a sense of sadness or melancholy since white is associated with death in their culture.(艺术作品所引发的情绪并不一定是故意的。它们往往具有个体和文化特异性。一位日本观众在观看莫奈的《蒙热龙火鸡》中描绘的白色火鸡时,可能会感到悲伤或忧郁,因为在他们的文化中,白色与死亡有关。)”可推知,作者提到日本观众是为了说明不同文化中颜色象征意义的差异。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“To some, the best works of art are open to interpretation.(对一些人来说,最好的艺术作品是可以有多种解读的。)”可知,作者认为艺术欣赏允许有不同的理解。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you often find yourself re-reading pages just to grasp the meaning? Boosting your reading speed and comprehension may seem like an unconquerable task. ____16____
Reading speed and comprehension are intertwined skills. Studies have shown that faster readers tend to understand the material better than slower readers. ____17____ Experts believe it’s because faster readers are able to process more information per unit of time, which allows them to retain and recall details more effectively. This is known as the “processing capacity” theory-our brains have a limited capacity for processing new information. Slow, disjointed reading can exhaust this capacity, causing attention to wander and information to be poorly integrated.
In fact, this inefficiency is often because of underlying obstacles that hinder our focus and comprehension. One major challenge is a lack of focus, which can be caused by distractions like social media, email notifications, or simply the urge to multitask. ____18____ Reading in harsh sunlight or dimly lit rooms can cause eye strain and discomfort, leading to slower comprehension. Prior knowledge also plays a significant role in reading speed and comprehension. If you’re unfamiliar with the topic, it’s natural that your understanding will suffer.
____19____ To become a faster and more efficient reader, many often focus on finding quick fixes or magic solutions. However, the truth is that consistent effort and purposeful practice are key to achieving lasting results.
Purposeful practice involves setting specific goals for improvement, identifying areas of weakness, and creating a structured plan to address them. ____20____ It focuses on making gradual progress over time rather than seeking short-term gains. By dedicating regular time to focused practice, readers can develop their skills and build confidence in their ability to understand complex material quickly.
A. This is perfectly normal!
B. But why does this happen?
C. This approach emphasizes quality over quantity.
D. Given these challenges, how should we proceed?
E. Another common obstacle is poor lighting conditions.
F. This way, you stay focused and get a better understanding.
G. However, with right techniques, you can unlock your full potential.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. D 20. C
【解析】

(为了成为阅读速度更快、效率更高的读者,许多人往往会倾向于寻找快速的解决办法或神奇的解决方案。)”可知,空处应承上启下,G选项“然而,只要运用恰当的方法,你就能充分发挥自己的潜力。”表示提高阅读速度和理解能力是可以做到的。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“Studies have shown that faster readers tend to understand the material better than slower readers. (研究表明,阅读速度快的人往往比阅读速度慢的人更能理解所读的内容。)”及下文“Experts believe it’s because faster readers are able to process more information per unit of time, which allows them to retain and recall details more effectively. (专家们认为,这是因为阅读速度较快的人能够在相同时间内处理更多的信息,这使得他们能够更有效地记住和回忆细节)”可知,下文是上文对于“阅读速度快的人往往比阅读速度慢的人更能理解所读的内容”的现象的原因说明,B选项“但为什么会发生这种情况呢?”引出下文原因。故选B。
【18题详解】
上文“One major challenge is a lack of focus, which can be caused by distractions like social media, email notifications, or simply the urge to multitask. (一个主要的挑战在于缺乏专注力,这可能是由诸如社交媒体、电子邮件通知等干扰因素所导致的,也可能是出于想要同时处理多项任务的冲动所致。)”可知,上文提到了影响阅读效率的一个挑战,E选项“另一个常见的障碍是光线条件不佳。”为另外一个挑战,符合语境和结构。故选E。
【19题详解】
下文“To become a faster and more efficient reader, many often focus on finding quick fixes or magic solutions. (为了成为阅读速度更快、效率更高的读者,许多人往往会倾向于寻找快速的解决办法或神奇的解决方案。)”可知,此段介绍了如何进行更高效率的阅读。D选项“面对这些挑战,我们应当如何应对呢?”总领本段。故选D。
【20题详解】
下文“It focuses on making gradual progress over time rather than seeking short-term gains. (它注重的是随着时间的推移逐步取得进展,而非追求短期的成效。)”提到前文的方法追求质量而非数量,C选项“这种方法更注重质量而非数量。”与下文语境一致,为对于下文语境的概括句,符合逻辑。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Smith family lived in a cozy little house on the outskirts of the town Millfield, surrounded by green grassland and a small forest. Little did they know that their peaceful routine was about to be interrupted by an unexpected guest.
On a hot summer day, their cat, Fluffy, was acting strangely, meowing loudly and staring at the window. Looking outside, they saw a furry creature in their backyard. It was a raccoon (浣熊)! The family was surprised and amused by the visitor, but they didn’t know what to do.
For a few weeks, the raccoon was a constant presence in the Smiths’ lives. The family was divided in their opinion about the unexpected guest. The kids, Emma and Jake, loved having a wild animal around and even named it Rascal. They would often leave bits of food for it to eat and try to pet it through the window. The parents, however, were more concerned about the safety of their family and pets. They wanted to get rid of the raccoon before it caused any harm.
One afternoon, they noticed the raccoon was digging around the flower bed. The family was interested and decided to investigate. To their surprise, they found a family of baby raccoons hiding in a hole!
The discovery of the baby raccoons changed everything. The Smiths realized that Rascal wasn’t just a trouble, but a mother trying to provide for her young. They started leaving food and water for the raccoon and even built a little shelter for the family.
As the baby raccoons grew, they became more adventurous. They started exploring the yard on their own and even ventured into the hallway. But one day, the family woke up to find that Rascal and her babies were gone. They searched the yard and the surrounding area but couldn’t find them. They were sad to see them go but also relieved that they could go back to their normal routine.
注意:
1. 续写的词数应为 150 左右;

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
A few days later, Rascal and her babies returned! The Smiths were overjoyed to see their furry friends again. This time, Rascal seemed more comfortable around the family. She let the kids pet her gently, and the baby raccoons played around the yard fearlessly. The family spent hours watching their antics, feeling a deep sense of connection. The parents, who had once wanted to get rid of them, now found themselves smiling at the cute sight, realizing how much these little creatures had become a part of their lives.
As the summer ended, it was time to say goodbye. The Smiths knew that the raccoons needed to return to their natural habitat. They watched as Rascal led her babies into the forest, feeling a bittersweet sense of loss. But they also felt happy knowing that they had been able to help this wild family. The experience taught the Smiths to respect and coexist with nature, and they would always cherish the memories of their unique summer guests.

In 1978 eight-year-old David Chiem and his family left Vietnam and arrived in Australia. He didn’t speak a word of English when he started school, but he picked it up quickly and topped his class that same year.
At 14 Chiem starred in the Australian TV series Butterfly Island, becoming the first Asian-Australian to land a lead role on mainstream television. He became interested in acting and film-making and decided to study them — little knowing this would one day lead him to create an education empire.
While learning film-making, Chiem realized something important: teachers often told students what to learn, but never how to learn. He wondered why so many kids struggled in school. He thought it might be because lessons didn’t truly interest them. He asked himself, “Instead of memorizing facts, why not teach children how to learn and help them become lifelong learners who love learning?”
In 1998, Chiem started a research center in Sydney. He brought together experts in education, psychology, and brain science to develop the “3-Mind” learning model: the Champion Mind (never giving up), the Learning Mind (knowing how to learn), and the Creative Mind (coming up with new ideas). This approach helps children face challenges with curiosity and confidence.
The first MindChamps preschool opened in Singapore in 2008 and was so popular that parents waited three months for a spot. Today, MindChamps has 39 preschools in Singapore and 81 across Australia, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Perhaps the greatest sign of success: over 70% of its franchisees (特许经营人) are parents of children who attend MindChamps schools. That’s real belief in a better way to learn.
4. What can we learn about David Chiem from the first two paragraphs?
A. He had difficulty in learning English. B. He became a TV star quite by chance.
C. His acting career inspired later business. D. He made the move for better education.
5. What did Chiem see as the main problem with traditional education?
A Children struggled in school. B. It stressed memorizing facts.
C. Lessons were not challenging. D. It didn’t teach learning methods.
6. Which of the following best describe Chiem’s “3-Mind” model?
A. Impractical. B. Demanding. C. Debatable. D. Innovative.
7. What does the high percentage of parents franchisees show?
A. Parents have faith in the model. B. The schools are expanding quickly.
C. Parents excel at making money. D. The model is favored by children.
C
The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If the world’s major governments don’t enact measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in the journal Earth System Dynamics.
The study, led by scientists in the United Kingdom and Netherlands, claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius(2℃)and kicking off a dangerous medley of global disasters.
The 2 degrees Celsius mark is critical for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2 degrees Celsius, scientists predict a range of catastrophic effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to searing heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. But even this will require marked progress. Scientists have calculated that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least two percent each year in order to slow the march toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a paltry total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to outpace the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per annum, the climate change deadline could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Likewise, developing technology to remove carbon dioxide and other gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases alter Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to trap more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of responsibility to act for politicians and policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, a professor at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and one of the study authors, said in a statement. “Very little time is left.”
8. Why is the year 2035 critical to the Earth?
A. It will be a record-breaking hot year. B. It’s a key point for our earth’s health.
C. It is when fossil fuels will run out. D. It’s a year of frequent natural disasters.
9. What annual minimum growth in renewables do we need to slow the progress?
A. 2%. B. 3.6%. C. 5%. D. 7%.
10. What does the underlined word “outpace” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Match. B. Keep up with. C. Do better than. D. Continue.
11. How did Henk Dijkstra feel about the current situation?
A Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Satisfied.
D
Understanding and reacting to our emotions is how we survive. They may alert us and grab our attention, as when we feel fear and should run away. They may also assure us — we feel joy when we’re safe and nourished after a meal. But, perhaps no other sense has played a larger role in obtaining emotional cues from our environment than sight.
Our ability to infer emotion from visual cues is primal. If we see someone who looks cross we may feel fear; while encountering a person who looks happy may elicit a sense of calm or happiness. Although unproven, cognitive science suggests that visual art can evoke emotions in the viewer by exploiting emotional cues we’ve learned to read for thousand years.
Certainly, studies using functional brain imaging technology bear this out. The same regions of the brain that are involved in experiencing emotion are activated when shown a piece of pleasing artwork. The use of color and symbolism can be recognizable to the viewer and evoke an emotion, even in abstract works. This can happen even if the conscious mind isn’t aware of the reason for the sudden onset of emotion. Red, for example, can indicate anger. A series of lines in disarray, like those found in the work of painter Franz Kline, can evoke uncomfortable feelings of disorder.
The color red, and lines in disorder are all called cognitive antecedents. By including them in visual art, the artist may present an emotional state to be decoded and experienced by the viewer later on. The emotions elicited by a work of art aren’t necessarily intentional. They’re often individually and culturally specific. A Japanese viewer of the white turkeys depicted in Monet’s “Turkeys at Montgeron” may experience a sense of sadness or melancholy since white is associated with death in their culture.
Perhaps an understanding of exactly how to elicit a specific emotion in the viewer is best left unsolved. To some, the best works of art are open to interpretation.
12. How do we primarily pick up emotional cues from the environment?
A. With our eyes. B. With our tongues. C. With our ears. D. With our hands.
13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The origins of human emotions. B. The methods of evoking emotions.
C. The causes of people’s feelings. D. The underlying logic of visual art.

Do you often find yourself re-reading pages just to grasp the meaning? Boosting your reading speed and comprehension may seem like an unconquerable task. ____16____
Reading speed and comprehension are intertwined skills. Studies have shown that faster readers tend to understand the material better than slower readers. ____17____ Experts believe it’s because faster readers are able to process more information per unit of time, which allows them to retain and recall details more effectively. This is known as the “processing capacity” theory-our brains have a limited capacity for processing new information. Slow, disjointed reading can exhaust this capacity, causing attention to wander and information to be poorly integrated.
In fact, this inefficiency is often because of underlying obstacles that hinder our focus and comprehension. One major challenge is a lack of focus, which can be caused by distractions like social media, email notifications, or simply the urge to multitask. ____18____ Reading in harsh sunlight or dimly lit rooms can cause eye strain and discomfort, leading to slower comprehension. Prior knowledge also plays a significant role in reading speed and comprehension. If you’re unfamiliar with the topic, it’s natural that your understanding will suffer.
____19____ To become a faster and more efficient reader, many often focus on finding quick fixes or magic solutions. However, the truth is that consistent effort and purposeful practice are key to achieving lasting results.
Purposeful practice involves setting specific goals for improvement, identifying areas of weakness, and creating a structured plan to address them. ____20____ It focuses on making gradual progress over time rather than seeking short-term gains. By dedicating regular time to focused practice, readers can develop their skills and build confidence in their ability to understand complex material quickly.
A. This is perfectly normal!
B. But why does this happen?
C. This approach emphasizes quality over quantity.
D. Given these challenges, how should we proceed?
E. Another common obstacle is poor lighting conditions.
F. This way, you stay focused and get a better understanding.
G. However, with right techniques, you can unlock your full potential.

The Smith family lived in a cozy little house on the outskirts of the town Millfield, surrounded by green grassland and a small forest. Little did they know that their peaceful routine was about to be interrupted by an unexpected guest.
On a hot summer day, their cat, Fluffy, was acting strangely, meowing loudly and staring at the window. Looking outside, they saw a furry creature in their backyard. It was a raccoon (浣熊)! The family was surprised and amused by the visitor, but they didn’t know what to do.
For a few weeks, the raccoon was a constant presence in the Smiths’ lives. The family was divided in their opinion about the unexpected guest. The kids, Emma and Jake, loved having a wild animal around and even named it Rascal. They would often leave bits of food for it to eat and try to pet it through the window. The parents, however, were more concerned about the safety of their family and pets. They wanted to get rid of the raccoon before it caused any harm.
One afternoon, they noticed the raccoon was digging around the flower bed. The family was interested and decided to investigate. To their surprise, they found a family of baby raccoons hiding in a hole!
The discovery of the baby raccoons changed everything. The Smiths realized that Rascal wasn’t just a trouble, but a mother trying to provide for her young. They started leaving food and water for the raccoon and even built a little shelter for the family.
As the baby raccoons grew, they became more adventurous. They started exploring the yard on their own and even ventured into the hallway. But one day, the family woke up to find that Rascal and her babies were gone. They searched the yard and the surrounding area but couldn’t find them. They were sad to see them go but also relieved that they could go back to their normal routine.
注意:
1. 续写的词数应为 150 左右;

A few days later, Rascal and her babies returned!
